"Grandma Tess" was a wonderful and full of life little lady. She loved cooking, canning, sewing, crocheting and quilting. Most of her life she lived and worked on ranches where she loved her farm animals, horses, taking in stray cats, raising Schnauzers and participating in her riding clubs. She enjoyed fishing, hunting, the outdoors, dancing, the Utah JAZZ, board games and especially a good game of Gin-Rummy.

Tessie took many pictures, mostly of her family. These pictures usually ended up on her walls so she could brag about her family when everyone came to visit. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were the jewels in her crown. We will greatly miss "Grandma Tess" and she'll always be loved and never forgotten.
